Veritaseum Crowdsale Bounty Program

Veritaseum was built by leveraging disruption, distributive network effects and the power of the crowd. In continuing with this mantra, we’re sponsoring a bounty program for any and all Veritaseum supporters to earn VERI, the token that drives Veritaseum’s products and services.

Reward Structure:

Up to fifty thousand (50,000) Veritas (VERI) will be rewarded for participating in the following Bounty categories:

Bitcointalk Signatures and Avatar: 20%

Translation: 15%

Blog Posts: 20%

Twitter: 20%

Facebook: TBD

Reddit: TBD

Telegram: TBD

To earn VERI, simply accumulate points by the end of the VERI crowdsale (May 26, 2017). At the end of the crowdsale, points for each category will be added up and used to calculate the number of VERI you will receive. The number of VERI you will receive for a particular bounty category is proportional to the number of points you’ve earned in that category.

For example, if:

You have 1 point in the Bitcointalk signature/avatar program

There are a total of 200 people in the Bitcointalk signature/avatar program who have each earned 1 point

At the end of the crowdsale, there are 4,000 VERI allocated to Newsletter Subscription

Then you will earn 4,000 * 1 / 200 = 20 VERI, currently about $380 USD.

Bounty categories, tasks, and rewards

Note: Percentages below are based on a maximum of up to 50,000 initial VERI supply reserved from crowdsale

Bitcointalk Signatures and Avatar

One of the largest pools of VERI rewards, this requires you to add our official signatures and avatar to your Bitcointalk profile to earn VERI.

c) Participant needs to post more than 10 quality posts per week including at least 1 message on the Veritaseum crowdsale ANN Thread to qualify for the weekly points below. Spam or low quality posts that are removed by administrators will not count.

Sr. Member: 35 points / week

Veritaseum Token Tutorial

Veritaseum is moving it's P2P Capital Markets platform to Ethereum. In order to use anything on the Ethereum network a person needs to have an Ethereum account. The easiest way to do this, is with MyEtherWallet

Generate an Ethereum Account

Step 1

Click on Generate Wallet and enter a good password. You will always be able to regenerate the same account from the same password.

Click download and save the json file BUT keep this file safe and private. Any person who gets their hands on this file can now access your account, so store it safely.

Open the file and look at ciphertext. This value is your private key. This private key is the part that MUST be kept secret.

Copy this ciphertext/private key into memory and go to the View Wallet Info tab at the top of the page.

Select the Private Key radio button and paste your private key into the box. Click Unlock.

Now you can access your Ethereum account! It is here that you will find your Ethereum address, view the balance that this account has in it, view any tokens that it has, and other interesting things also.

Click on the Swap tab at the top of the page to exchange your bitcoins for Ether. Alternatively you may use ShapeShift. Be aware that this method is more expensive than sourcing Eth of exchanging it through an established token exchange, ie. Poloniex or Coinbase.

Exchange for VERI Tokens

Once you have some Ether, you are ready to exchange those Ether for Veritaseum Tokens! One VERI Token costs 0.03333333333 Ether, so for one Ether you get 30 VERI Tokens!

The ICO crowdfunding stage is from 2017 April 25th 9:30 EST (14:30 UTC) and lasts for 31 days. There is even a 20% discount for tokens purchased on day one (after the start), a 10% discount for tokens purchased on day two (after the start), and every consecutive day the discounted rate will reduce by 1% per day until the normal price is reached (day 12)!

The VeritaseumToken smart contract is an Ethereum ERC20 compliant token, which means that you can exchange VERI tokens on any Ethereum based exchange.

The future of finance, ICO slated for April 25th, 2107 at US market open

The man that called Bear Stearns, Lehman, the real estate and EU sovereign debt crashes as well as mobile tech booms is now mobilizing his films blockchain technology to go head-to-head with the captains of global industry - Wall Street. Unlike the vast majority of blockchain tech start-ups that strive to improve upon the business processes within the leaders of the finance , Reggie Middleton’s Veritaseum seeks to disintermediate said leaders in totality, thereby releasing an unprecedented cascading wave of value currently tied up in excessive fees, commissions and economic ents.

This disintermediation is accomplished by using a DAO (digital autonomous organization consisting purely of distributed software that lives on no single computer or server) which is essentially a smart contract (autonomous computer code, analogous to a legal or social contract that produces y or z result after X input, contingent upon the input).

Veritaseum’s ICODAO will have the ability to accept requests for Eth from prospective ICO issuers, evaluate said requests and if the requests past muster from the DAO’s perspective, then dig in deeper with due diligence and proprietary analysis to ascertain whether the offering will be participated in.

This occurs at a cost that is up to 90% cheaper than fund-like vehicles, meaning the ICODAO token holders (those who submitted Veritaseum’s Veritas tokens to the DAO) stand to benefit significantly more than those who may have invested in a fund with a similar gross return and risk profile, reference this complete illustration for more).

Reggie Middleton the Veritaseum team will support the ICODAO with analysis and development services. ICODAO takes robo-investing and brings it to a new, autonomous and significantly more paradigm shifting level, threatening the highest paid of professional financial investors - VCs and fund managers.

Veritaseum is planning its own ICO (initial coin offering) on April 25th, starting at the open of NY financial markets, through May 26th or as long as supply lasts. Click here for more information.
